Every year, thousands of people experience a traumatic event that impacts their lives. Sadly, most of these individuals don’t seek compensation to cover the high medical bills or loss of income that comes with it, suffering financially as a result. Why do a majority of people miss out on suing for damages? Because most of the time, they weren’t aware that their situation could result in a lawsuit. If you or a loved one have been involved in any of the following situations, you should consider contacting a lawyer to discuss your options.

Dog Bite

A dog bite can cause chronic pain and psychological trauma, which is why victims of a dog bite are often entitled to claim for compensation. Most claims are made against the owner and can help to pay for any injuries, expenses, and loss of wages incurred.

Tenant Eviction

Cases, where a landlord is attempting to evict a tenant, can result in a lawsuit. Tenants who receive an eviction notice or who are asked to leave by their landlord should seek legal advice regarding their rights. Depending on the situation, a lawyer can help you receive damages, remain in your apartment, or help clear your name.

Medical Malpractice

Medical practitioners make mistakes too. However, those mistakes can have life-altering consequences. If you or a loved one has received a wrongful diagnosis or improper or unacceptable care that has resulted in injury, you should contact a personal injury lawyer to discuss your options. When care falls below the accepted standards of medical practice and causes an injury, health care professionals can be held responsible for the losses that are suffered.

Defamation

Making a false statement about another can also result in a lawsuit. When the false statement causes injury to a person’s reputation, otherwise known as defamation, that person has the right to seek compensation through a suit. Because there is a lot of fact-finding involved, these cases often require the assistance of an expert.

Slip and Fall Accident

Slip and fall accidents can leave victims with expensive medical bills, chronic pain, and a loss of income. If you’ve been injured on someone else’s property because of their negligence, you may be eligible for compensation.
